`Funny, observant, brilliantly musical... streetwise, erudite, elusive, but very accessible`Ruth Padel, Financial Times
`Farley is one of our most vital and engaging voices. Even a title can twist at the familiar, commanding our attention. He has the knack of both establishing and undermining the securities of memory purely through turn of phrase` W. N. Herbvert,Scotland on Sunday

Following the exceptional acclaim for his first two books, Paul Farley might have been forgiven for resting on his laurels in writing his ‘difficult third’, but Tramp in Flames instead finds him driving his formal ambition and extraordinary imagination harder then ever. A book of considerable emotional daring and sometimes Wordsworthian sweep, Tramp In Flames sets the palimpsest of the present hour on a lightbox, and is the work of a meticulous archivist of our cultural memory. It also shows Paul Farley rapidly becoming one of the definitive English voices of the age.
‘A poet with a remarkable ability to change and revitalise the way in which we see everyday living’ Sunday Times
‘Artful, funny, observant, brilliantly musical; subtle with no trace of showing off; streetwise, erudite; elusive, but very accessible’ Financial Times
